Description
Physical Skiing is the first book to thoroughly address the physical training and performance needs of alpine skiers. All skiers want to ski better, avoid injury and ski for a lifetime. As the population gets older, conditioning will be a crucial element in enabling skiers more days per year. While improvements in equipment and hill grooming have made it easier to ski, it also means a change in how you train for skiing. Physical Skiing explores these relationships so you can be better prepared to ski longer and better each day.
This format of blending science and practical application means the book applies to the recreational skier all the way to the medical community. Each chapter is a blend of research, photos, information and critical points forming self-contained technical and practical applications to the particular topic, whether ergonomic equipment advantages or resistance training. After reading Physical Skiing, you will be able to efficiently organize your physical training for better results in your available time. Also, you will learn tips and tricks with equipment and nutrition to make your skiing better and more enjoyable.
